How nice of SE to not have the game online when 90% of America has the day/weekend off....

I know, right? I mean, US players account for what, not even half the total players of the game? And most of the prior patches have taken place in the wee hours of the morning for those of us in North/South America, which means people in Europe/Japan/Australia are getting downtime during their prime playing hours, but the one time we get it mid-day it's worthy of a bit of a snivel, isn't it?

It's okay. Get it out of your system. Eat some turkey. Take a nap. It'll be okay.

I'm also anticipating extended maintenance, server crashes, bugs, and everything else that goes along with a major patch. I'm not hoping for those things, of course, just that I'm not going to be surprised if it happens.
